Great news. Permanently?

They haven’t mate, there’s now extremely vulnerable and vulnerable. The 1.5 million are the extreme.

Diabetics were second on the list 3 days ago bud, they are going down the charts faster than one bloody direction have. I'll give you an example of the stupidity here, my Son In Laws Dad is 71 healthy mind but his wife is 67 and a diabetic they clean a school. The headteacher sent 2 pregnant teachers home (Considering there hasn't been a known death of a pregnant woman infected with this bugger of a virus) because she felt it was dangerous for them to be exposed to the threat.

It makes not one jot of sense.

Think the issue is that too many businesses are being classed as essential, thats the fault of the government and in some circumstances the business themselves. For example in this scenario I wouldn't class construction as essential (unless they're building hospitals) but they're being classed as essential at the moment.

They don’t give a fuck if the industry is essential or not, they want companies running for the dosh, pounds before people, they have basically just shut shops many of which decided to close anyhow. It looks bad all these people wandering about.

The policy is if you have health problems stay in, if your boss tells you they’re open you go in, if your self employed and can find work off you go otherwise you can starve. Get yourself crammed on a tube and head for your factory. Brilliant. If you haven’t put yourself and others at enough risk doing this after you get home(crammed tube) have a wander for your daily exercise.

Basically this new strong move is a few shops have shut and make your gatherings in public a little less obvious. Quality stuff.

Does the two meter apply at work or only if possible ?

Walked to the local Coop this morning for milk and bread - came home empty handed. : (. Noticed white van man was there in force - no idea if their roles are essential but seriously doubt it.

It seemed inevitable to me that there would be another rush on milk and bread from this.

I'll see at lunchtime how things are.

Quite a lot of places will have to stay open - White Van Man might be delivering, or workmen; presumably even things like launderettes are necessities for many.

Cheadle Hulme very quiet

As is Cheadle judging by the lack of traffic on Kingsway. Went for a walk last night around 6.00pm and didn’t have to break stride to cross Kingsway which is unheard of in rush hour. Maybe the people of south Manchester understand what is required.
